When he wasn’t named to the Ryder Cup team, Rose’s game seemed to dissipate. While there is no direct connection, the young man from England struggled to find the winner’s circle again in 2011. With only 4 top 10’s to his credit, Rose fell from 30th in the world ranking to 40th before this week in Chicago.

“Certainly my best round of the year by a long, long way,” Rose said. “Could have been top five, top ten rounds I’ve ever played for sure. “

Rose hit all 14 fairways, 16 of 18 greens, both were ranked number one is a field of the best players on the PGA Tour in 2011. Needing only 27 putts combined with the greens in regulation, Rose made eight birdies and only one bogey in shooting a 63.

“Really felt that with a decent putter I would have won a couple of those tournaments,” Rose said of chances in Florida and the Masters early in the year. “But momentum didn’t really ‑‑ I can’t catch fire when I played my best golf, and I think from that moment on it’s just a little bit hard to get momentum again, didn’t play quite as well through the summer.”

Rose finished sixth in a weather shortened Barclays to start the FedEx playoffs, but his 68th two weeks ago in Boston at the Deutsche Bank Championship, was evidence of his inconsistent play that has plagued him this year.

“Last week was a little bit of an anomaly,” Rose said of Deutsche Bank. “Didn’t quite make things happen at all; had a tough week picking clubs. I thought it was pretty tricky last week. But today ‑‑ had a little tune‑up with Sean Foley actually on Tuesday and really cleaned up a couple things in my golf swing and it was really nice to see the results straightaway today.”

Acknowledging his state has “come under the harsh glare of criticism” over a controversial new “religious freedom” law, Indiana Gov. Mike Pence said he wants state lawmakers to pass new legislation that makes clear businesses cannot discriminate against gay and lesbian couples.

Police said the robbers used a prop in at least two holdups in the Fuller Park neighborhood. They set up a road construction barrel in the street, and when a motorist gets out of his or her car to move it aside, the robbers pounce.

Indonesian prosecutors on Tuesday sought jail sentences of 18 years for an American man and 15 years for his girlfriend if they are found guilty of murdering the woman's mother while vacationing on the resort island of Bali last year.
